Join the Collegium Institute and Dappled Things for this special online Ars Vivendi Initiative event on January 12, 2023 at noon: The Lost Women: Recovering the Other English Catholic Literary Revival, co-sponsored by Image Journal, Wellspring: A Mother Artist Project, St. Gregory’s Hall, Catholic University of America Press, Lumen Christi Institute, Durham Center for Catholic Studies, and the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program at the University of St. Thomas. We will look to recover these lost Catholic women writers, from Caryll Houselander to Sheila Kaye-Smith and Josephine Ward, and explore how the obscuring of women’s participation in the Catholic Literary Revival has distorted the movement’s intellectual legacy.

Joined by Bonnie Lander Johnson and Julia Meszaros, editors of Catholic University of America’s new Catholic Women Writers series, and moderated by Dappled Things editor in chief Katy Carl, we will investigate the need to recover these female voices, how they contribute to the Catholic imagination, and what the tradition is gaining with their voices entering back in. These lost stories and women are needed to make the Body whole again.
